Paraguay

Paraguay is located on the continent of South America. Argentina borders it to the south and southwest. Brazil borders it to the east and northeast. Bolivia borders Paraguay to the northwest. Because of its central location, it sometimes is referred to as 'Corazon de America' ['Heart of America'].

While tennis, basketball and other sports exist, Futbol or soccer is the "king of sports." Volleyball and piki volley ball are both very popular sports in the rural areas. Piki volley is played on a sand volleyball court, but rather than using one's hands, one uses their head, chest and feet to get the ball over the net.

There are three famous places that i know of. First, there is the Bridge of Friendship that crosses over to Brazil. Then there is the House of Independence. Last, there is a palace of a rick man with the last name of Lopez. I think it's called the Lopez Palace.

Paraguay is a cattle-ranching country, so beef is the no. 1 food item, though chicken & pork are also widely available. Sausages are a common appetizer, while the most usual side dish is yuca, a fibrous root vegetable. Paraguay is very hot for most of the year, and food is frequently prepared & eaten outdoors in a quincho, which is a covered area with a large built-in grill and a table with chairs or benches. Sopa paraguaya (literally translated means "paraguayan soup"), is actually a kind of moist cornbread mixed with queso fresco(unaged soft cheese). This, and other dishes, are usually prepared in a dome-shaped mud oven called a tataqua (a GuaraniIndian word). Tropical fruits are everywhere; most people have at least one fruit tree in the yard. Pineapples, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, bananas, mangos, papayas and avocados are everywhere. The small Paraguayan pineapples are unquestionably the best I have every eaten, and the avocados (which Paraguayans actually don't eat) would put the U.S. varieties to shame. Paraguayn is landlocked, so you won't find much seafood, but freshwater fish is available & is very good. Many people in Paraguay are of Italian and/or German descent, so those cuisines are popular. However, Paraguayans do not like spicy food, so visitors will find the food rather bland, but often salty. In Asuncion, you will find restaurants featuring continental fare. Spanish cuisine is popular, and a very large paella is often the feature dish at a party. There are also Chinese restaurants.

The animals of Paraguay include armadillo, capybara, tapir, jaguar, anteater, wild boar, deer, alligator, and various species of snake. Among the local birds are toucan, ibis, heron, parrot, black duck, dove, partridge, rhea (American ostrich), and parakeet. Many of these birds exhibit strikingly beautiful plumage.

One primary geographical similarity between Paraguay and Zambia is that both are landlocked countries meaning the two nations are not surrounded by any body of water.Paraguay and Zambia also lie in the southern Hemisphere.

Coffee plays an essential part in the history of Brazil. The plant, originally from Ethiopia, was first brought to the country Brazil by French settlers who established themselves in the state of Pará in the early 18th century. Thriving in the ideal conditions provided by the climate, the coffee fields spread from the North of Brazil along the country, concentrating in the areas along the shore. During this period, sugar plantations represented the primacy economic activity in the country and coffee was merely a luxury. Nobody could have imagined at the time that it would become the major player in Brazil's vibrant history of even greater importance than New Orlean's Sugar rush or the Irish potato famine.

However, by 1820, coffee represented the most exported product from Brazil, after the sugar cane started to lose importance in the international markets. The production peaked when the coffee plantations gained the fertile soils of Vale do Paraíba - a region that makes up part of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states.

Paraguay's national anthem in English is: Paraguayians republican or death!

Itaipu Dam is one of the manmade places in paraguay.

Paraguay is a slightly larger country located directly north of Uruguay. Both countries are located in south-central South America.

1. Paraguay is poorer & has no sea port. Uruguay has almost five times more GDP per capita than Paraguay (10k to 2,5k US dollars per year, aprox).

2. Uruguay's mediterranean to continental climate makes it far more suitable for producing wine than Paraguay's tropical to subtropical.

3. The overwhealming majority of Uruguayans descend from immigrants from Italy and Spain (strong wine drinking countries), while Paraguayans are mostly a mix of many centuries between Europeans and Guaraní Indians.

Paraguayan folk art includes ñanduti, (a spider-web like lace), ao poí (an embroidered cloth), several types of ceramics and clay work, and filigree jewelry. Another popular folk art is basketwork and feathered ornaments. Paintings, sculptures, and theatre also play an important role in the art of Paraguay.

The Patagonian Desert, the Monte Desert and a small part of the Atacama Desert are all in Argentina.

Democratic Republic of the Congo is further north.

the major imports of argentina are the crpos and reliable resources.¨Argentina mainly grows crops and relies on agricultural products to provide for its country.

¨So when it comes to technology it has to turn somewhere else for help.

Paraguayan people wear many of the same styles of clothing that those in the United States and Europe wear. This is especially true in the cities. Our of the city women usually wear simple dresses with a shawl.

I lived in Paraguay for over 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer. I can really only answer this question from a rural standpoint though. In the "campo" or rural areas, holidays are celebrated with an asado - barbeque beef ribs - cooked on a "parrilla" - a simple grill on the ground over charcoal. Christmas is celebrated on Christmas eve with an asado accompanied by "clerico" - clerico is a wine (red or white) with fruit salad mixed in (pineapple, apple, grapes, peaches, anything goes). Pineapple soda is often used with the wine or instead of wine. Every community has a patron saint and that community celebrates that saint's day usually with a "rodeo" - a horse show (no roping of cows like the US version of a rodeo), a soccer tournament, a mass, sometimes a procession. Many communities do "karu guazu" or "big meal" in conjuntion with their saint day. Women prepare a huge meal and invite all of their friends and close neighbors. This practice is usually tied to a "promesa" or a promise that woman made to the saint in exchange for help/answer to a prayer. She then provides this large meal every year for a number of years. Since a Catholic holiday can be accompanied by a novena - or nine days of prayer - the big meals can go on for nine days with more than one big meal per day for nine days. Holidays in Paraguay are a day of rest and fun and family. Families reunite - sons and daughters returning from the city to spend the day or weekend with their extended family. Loud music is played, beer or wine mixed with Coca-Cola is consumed all day, the meal is large (asado of beef ribs, potato or rice salad, manioca - yucca), volleyball or soccer games and if the weather is hot, a trip to the closeby river or stream for swimming.

mainly on crops and farming. They economy in recent years have been getting better. More jobs are avaliable and less people are asking for money. They will have many poor people and there is a big differnt between the rich and the poor.
